Boss turns his back on contract for new season


MURRAY BELL

Australian jockey Glen Boss has flagged the first shock of the new season, yesterday advising the Jockey Club he will not return as a club rider for the 2008-09 term.
Boss had previously accepted a full-season contract, but has decided to return to Sydney with immediate effect, citing family reasons.

"I have no complaint about Hong Kong, I had a good season and was looking forward to building on that," Boss said. "But during the break, I have done some thinking and my future is not in Hong Kong, my future and my family's future is in Sydney."

Boss will return on Friday to collect his belongings and make final arrangements before leaving for Sydney early next week.

"During my time in Hong Kong, the thing I missed most was the big buzz surrounding the carnivals and Group One races," said Boss, who won two Group Ones - the Golden Slipper Stakes and Doncaster Handicap - on hit-and-run visits in April.

A key factor behind Boss' decision was the choice made by Ricky Yiu Poon-fie to engage Weichong Marwing as a stable jockey , despite the success the pair had enjoyed.
